So I heard about this experiment kids tend to test out in middle/high school where you bend over and lift a folding chair (or other light chair) while keeping your lower half of your body against the wall, as well as another in which a chair is placed between you and the wall, you stand pretty much straight with your head against the wall, and attempt to pick the chair up (there was even a third where you just try to get your head off the wall without using your arms...they all are based off the same fundamental property, though).
The science behind it is explained as a difference in the location of center of gravity. Boys are said to have a higher CG, and girls a lower one (obviously, since females are built to be able to carry the weight of a developing child).
Anyway, I tried all three variations and failed miserably. I even fell over trying to pick up the chair at one point
Has anyone ever done this, and if so, how'd it go?
